Title: "Tariff Tides (Riding the Wave)"
(Pop/Electronic with a driving beat & catchy hook)
[Verse 1]
Whispers of a trade war blowin’ in the air,
New digits on the dock, but nobody’s prepared.
"Made in China" stamped, now it costs 25,
Do we raise the price or kiss the profits goodbye?
[Pre-Chorus]
CBAM’s knockin’, VAT’s a loaded gun,
Supply chains shatter—where do we run?
But the smart ones play chess while the rest just lose,
Break the rules, rewrite the clues.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, it’s a tariff tide,
Swim or sink in the trade wind night.
Oh-oh, flip the game inside,
Every wall’s a ladder if you climb it right.
[Verse 2]
Malaysian screens, Thai assembly lines,
Algorithm whispers where the loopholes hide.
"Duty-free" sounds sweet til the paperwork screams,
But gold hides in the cracks of bureaucratic dreams.
[Pre-Chorus]
Mexico’s magic, Vietnam’s a dance,
One wrong step and you’re locked in the trance.
But the players who win? They’re three moves ahead,
Tax codes and data—paint the future in red.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, it’s a tariff tide,
Swim or sink in the trade wind night.
Oh-oh, flip the game inside,
Every wall’s a ladder if you climb it right.
[Bridge] (Dropped beat, spoken-word vibe)
"Break it down: HS codes, force majeure,
Duty drawbacks turn to cold hard ore.
Carbon tax? Just change the score.
The winners see the cracks… and kick down the door."
[Final Chorus] (Anthemic, layered vocals)
Oh-oh, ride the tariff tide!
Burn the boats, let the robots decide.
Oh-oh, the risk is the prize,
In the chaos… empires rise.
(Outro: Fading synth mimicking customs sirens)
Why It Works:
Hook-Driven: Repetitive "Oh-oh" melody sticks like a TikTok trend.
Jargon as Poetry: "CBAM", "HS codes" sound edgy when rhymed.
Hero Narrative: Positions listeners as rebels outsmarting the system.
Beat Matters: Pulsing electronic baseline mimics supply chain urgency.
